I am not sure if someone has done this, but I did not find any info on it.
A bit of an update to my runner;

I used a B4 molded cover and it woks perfect. You only need to make one hole on the stealth motor plate (the lower one) and use the existing upper hole.
The trick is to:
1. Mount the dust cover with the top hole
2. Rotate the cover to center the top shaft of the tranny on the torque clutch opening
3. Mark the lower hole
4. Carefully drill and tap for a 4-40.

That is very good, perfect and strong for a runner. The RPM RC10 ones are hard to find at a cheap price. Thanks for the tip!

great idea!! Will this mod work on the 6 gear tranny?

Yup; the 6-gear and Sealth use the same motor plate.

I wonder how a B2/B3 cover will fit? They still offer them as well. And I think you could get away with a 2-56 or 2mm screw, lessen the chance of drilling through the edge of the plate.

OK, I checked last night and it doesn't look like the B2/B3/T3 cover will fit; with the plates lined up at the upper hole and the output shaft, the lower hole on the B-series cover hangs completely off the older motor plate.

Cool Idea! I now it is hard to find a RPM cover.Thanks,Jamie

I made a new stealth motor plate that used the B2 cover

please say no to the drill..sorry its just these parts are getting harder to find .i use just the top hole or buy on ebay http://shop.ebay.com/racer8838/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p4340

Nice fab work Snoop

Are those purple things heat sinks??

Yup Schumacher heat sinks ca mid '90

Sorry to raise this from the dead but I had a pressing question. I am in need of gear covers for two RC10Ts and one T2. Will the B4 covers work using your suggestions?

yes on the 10T but not sure on the T2. I am thinking it might work.

Instead of starting a new topic thread, I'll just stick my question here.
Speaking of dust covers, has anyone encountered a problem with their pinion gear rubbing the cover? Not the teeth, but rather the outside flat part of the pinion rubbing the inside of the cover.
I tried scooting the pinion a tiny bit inward, now it's not perfectly 'flush' with the spur gear. This is in reference to a B2.
